Wii motion plus

Post by gloomyandy »

Folks, following on from this https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/mind ... ?f=2&t=463 I've also modified one of the Wii devices. You can see the details here:

Here is a picture of the internals

and the final result:

I've started a new thread to provide some details of the build, but also because I've been doing some work on how the device actually performs. I'll be writing up the details and adding more to this thread later. Hope you find it of interest...

Andy

Hi,
I've just added some notes on the results from my testing of the device. It is certainly interesting. Here's the device I've been using to test with...

and here is one of the more interesting results!

All of the details are here:

I'd be really interested to find out if anyone has any more information on the various scale factors used (there seem to be various opinions from what I've read), and on what the sample rate is for the device. It looks to me like it is 5ms but I've not been able to find anything to back this up...
